Felsted U16 A v Haileybury |
Result: Won 27-12 |

On Tuesday, the Under 16s continued their excellent start to the season with a convincing win over a strong Haileybury side. For the second time this year already, they reversed a defeat from last season, although this time they had to work hard for the win. Coming up to half time, scores were still locked at 0-0, until James Seager crashed over to give us a narrow 5-0 advantage going into the second period. Haileybury fought back, and at 5-5, the game was in the balance, but tries from Max Paulin and Rory Hutchinson gave us a bit of a cushion. Another Haileybury score could have set up a tough finish, but with the tackling once again very impressive, Ralph Stanevicius scored and, at the end of the game, Ben Warner completed an outstanding team try, to top off an excellent performance, with a 27-12 win (there is some speculation that it may have been 32-12, but nobody can remember the 6th try – details will be clarified!). |

Haileybury
Welcome along! Sorry I'm late
Sorry this has taken a while for me to get up and running; I hope the quality of the rugby to have been played by all 40 boys that have represented the 'A' and 'B' teams goes some way to making up for my tardiness.
To have both teams unbeaten as we head into week 6 is a fantastic achievemnt and one the boys should be proud of. I have reproduced a short summary of the games so far, courtesy of Mr Townsend.
Game 1
Felsted 27 - 5 Coopers Coburn
I was unable to be at this game due to other family commitments, but it was good to hear that all boys played well and the apparent strength in depth was an encouraging sign for the rest of the season.
Game 2
Felsted 37 - 5 Framlingham
There were scores from Marcus Joyce, Max Paulin, Dan Benson, Ralph Stanevicius, Tom Edwards, James Halfhide and Ben Thompson. Although by no means a complete performance, it was very pleasing to win so well, when we were without Rory Hutchinson and Bertie Wells, and had to juggle the backline as a result. The first half saw us capitalise on Framlingham mistakes to score three times, but a rather sloppy passage of play allowed them to get a score back before the break. In the second half, the quality of our tackling stepped up further, and fairly relentless pressure saw us score four more good tries.
